As 2018 draws to an end, it would be remiss if we didn’t reflect on this year’s top stories.

The News24 editorial team joined senior politics reporter Tshidi Madia to discuss the stories, people and scandals that dominated the headlines.

Who could forget February 14, the day the country watched as South Africa's fourth democratic president, Jacob Zuma, stepped down from his position.

His resignation came on the heels of the 54th ANC national elective conference that took place in December 2017 and saw Cyril Ramaphosa's power in the ANC strengthen – eventually landing him the presidential seat.

Ramaphosa promised the public a "new dawn" and told the nation to "Thuma mina (send me)" to fix the country's problems.
